Turtle Dice is a 1998 Mac shareware dice game by Greg Pierce of Turtle Productions. It is a clean, straightforward implementation of a Yahtzee-style scoring game, designed for the Classic Mac OS desktop and rendered comfortably on 256-color displays of the System 7 and Mac OS 9 era.
Yahtzee-Style Dice Scoring
Players roll five dice across multiple turns, locking and rerolling to chase familiar combinations such as straights, full houses, and of-a-kinds. The scoring sheet follows the conventional upper- and lower-section layout familiar to Yahtzee players.
Lean Classic Mac Presentation
True to its shareware roots, the interface is compact and uncluttered, sized comfortably for the small displays of late-1990s Macs and rendered in 256 colors. Greg Pierce later went on to a long career in independent Mac and iOS software.
System Requirements
Turtle Dice runs on System 7.0 through 7.6 and Mac OS 9, with builds for both 68k and PowerPC Macs. A 256-color display is required.
